Explanation of Ratings
|
|
Contains detailed road, relief and land-use maps for all
parts of the state, as well as detailed street maps of the
largest cities. Ideal for both travel and research. This
book actually includes two statewide atlases: One is a set
of shaded relief maps; the second is a set of maps in the
same scale showing land ownership. Street maps of
Alburquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces and Roswell are included,
along with street indexes for each. This atlas is the
equivalent of the Delorme series (which does not yet have a
New Mexico atlas), and in many ways it is superior.

Information from the Publisher |
Always supportive |
The text below is taken from the back cover. Each title below is
linked to a sample map. (The relatively crude quality of the images
here does not reflect that of the atlas itself.)
The world isn't flat, so why use maps that look that way? Landscape Maps
show you not only the roads and towns, but also the mountains, arroyos
and mesaa that make New Mexico such a great place to explore.
Relief shading makes the land appear three-dimensional while coloring
shows altitude above sea level. Roads on the map don't just cross mountain
ranges - they wind through foothills, climb over passes and drop down
valleys
on the other side.
Find out who owns and manages the land you'd like to explore. State and
Federal forests and rangelands, parks, tribal lands, military bases and
wildlife refuges are all color coded for easy reference.
Over one third of New Mexico is managed by Federal agencies and another
fifth is under State or indian trobal control. Ten different types of
public or Indian lands are shown with a key on each page. You can see
both where you are and who owns or manages the land.
Complete, detailed street maps of Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho,
Roswell and Santa Fe compiled by exhaustive on-the-ground surveys in 1995.
Includes every street for these cities - from major highways down to dirt
roads. These maps show neighborhoods, parks, hospitals, shopping districts,
schools and other vital information. The most authoritative and easy-to-read
maps ever made of New Mexico's most important cities.
